Not easy to find, but I use a ".5X" (actually closer to

.7X...) Kenko WA (37mm thread rear, 46mm front)

with a Sakar Series VII (the widest and sharpest of

these I've found) with a 46->Series-VII step-up ring.

This rig produces a sharp nearly-round fisheye image

on 37mm-threaded camera lenses, and full-circle on

a TRV900 and VX2000 (with stepping rings added...).

Otherwise the expensive Century is the only option

I know of (if it actually produces a circular image...).
